Grouping functions in Grasshopper into Clusters is an effective technique to reduce the visual complexity of your file.
Clusters allow you to easily copy and paste a selected definition of a function both within your file and into other Grasshopper files. If you modify a cluster, all copies within the opened file will be updated accordingly.
Enjoy using clusters in your workflow!
